ENFIELD is the second worst London borough for burglaries according to annual crime statistics released this week.
Only Haringey with 30 burglaries per thousand households topped Enfield, which suffered 26 per thousand households.
The figure is much higher than the average across London, which stands at 18 burglaries a year.
Enfield, which as one of London's biggest boroughs with a higher proportion of residential housing than most has always been a target for break-ins.
But its popularity with burglars does not appear to be entirely due to the affluence of its residents.
Kingston upon Thames's figure was nine for the same period and Kensington and Chelsea, 11.
This year house burglaries rose for the first time in six years.
